DVWM will be jointly hosting with InCommn's Don't Eat Lunch Alone (aka DELA: http://www.incommn.com/don-t-eat-lunch-alone), an Arts and Business networking luncheon, where we apply the principle of Design Thinking to creating effective, and dynamic collaborations between business and the arts.
We'll be talking about Creative Placemaking, and how art and design can be used as a transformation tool to revitalyze local downtown areas. Bring your topics of interest to the table as well! to Help us brain storm, bring your questions, thoughts, ideas, and insights, and enjoy one of Apollo Grille's delicious lunches, or bring your own brown bag lunch.

This event was inspired by the Creative Economy Summit of 2012 whose topic was Art and Business in Collaboration (sponsored by the Fostering Art and Culture Project). We are providing this as a means to continue the conversation, and keep the spirit moving forward.
We'd love to see you there!
Best,
Lisa
